The colors are good and the look is very well structured and clean. However, the design isnít quite strong enough yet. Try the following:

- Condense the big blue bar across the top, it should be 25% of that site, if that.

- Change the picture. The image needs to be more serious and biggerÖ maybe more people?

- The logo needs to be stronger, maybe a darker color or some background differentiation such as see on index1.html

- The 1,2,3 position idea is excellent. Make them 33% taller and integrate them into the header someway. Having them overlap, maybe extending from the header up top.

- Make a second version identical to this one, but have only #1 and #2 uptop (drop #3) and move the column on the right up to itís starting position. If you integrate 1 and 2 into the header, have the right side column start just below the header, so that itís not the same height as the two ranked reviews.

- Maybe try to integrate some contrasting colors. When I view this site, I canít help but think of the default Windows XP background install with the rolling green fields with the bright blue sky. Maybe adding some of that brilliant green in some sections would highlight things. If the header is that blue color, maybe the tabs of the 1,2,3 positions should be that green?
